Abstract

The present invention provides a camera device and an optical imaging lens thereof. The optical imaging lens comprises five lens elements positioned in an order from an object side to an image side and an aperture stop positioned between the third lens element and fourth lens element. Through controlling the convex or concave shape of the surfaces of the lens elements, the view angle of the optical imaging lens is efficiently increased to provide better optical characteristics.
